The Independent National Electoral Commission says it might conclude the legislative rerun elections in Rivers State in October this year.
However; the electoral commission is still undecided about a specific date for the long-awaited rerun polls, which were first aborted on 19th of March.
INEC National Commissioner, Amina Zakari gave this indication during a meeting with political stakeholders in Rivers State.
“We need to understand that elections are not just get up and go. It is not like going to the race track. Infact even a race track, the athletes have to prepare. So we must prepare and that is the reason why we cannot just come back to Rivers without ensuring that we are prepared and you are prepared because the election is for you. The electorates are your electorates.
“If there is continuous violence, there can not be elections,” Zakari said.
